A way of defining the way that a parameter changes during a fade.
You could assign a path that makes the fixture parameter snap to

A number with a decimal point. Cues are initially given whole
numbers, but a point number in order can be used to insert a cue:
cue 2.5 between 2 and 3 for example. Such a cue is known as a
point cue.
On a computer network, the port number defines a particular type
of network traffic. In the case of a Wholehog III network, each
show running on the network has its own port number, so that a
console can identify and connect to a particular show.
The position of the light beam of a fixture within space, or on the
surface it hits. With most fixtures, the position is determined by
the pan and tilt parameters.
